1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

objectivesDentin sialophosphoprotein (DSPP) plays an important role in the mineralization of both dentin and bones. The Dspp null mice developed periodontal diseases. Patients with DSPP mutations have dentinogenesis imperfecta (DGI), but very little is known about their bone characteristics. This study aims to characterize alveolar bone cells of a DGI patient with DSPP mutation. MATERIALS AND

methodsPathogenic variants were identified by whole exome and sanger sequencing. Cells isolated from the alveolar bones of a DSPP patient were investigated for their characteristics including cell morphology, attachment, spreading, proliferation, colony formation, mineralization, and osteogenic differentiation.

resultsWe identified a Thai family with three members affected with autosomal dominant DGI harboring a heterozygous pathogenic missense mutation, c.50C > T, p.P17L, in exon 2 of the DSPP gene. The patients' phenotypes presented deteriorated opalescent teeth with periapical lesions, thickening of lamina dura, furcation involvement, alveolar bone loss, and bone exostoses. The alveolar bone cells isolated from DSPP patient exhibited compromised proliferation and colony formation. Scanning electron microscope revealed altered cellular morphology and spreading. The DSPP cells showed deviated mRNA levels of OCN, ALP, and COL1 but maintained in vitro mineralization ability compared to the control.

conclusionsWe demonstrate that the DSPP p.P17L mutant alveolar bone cells had compromised cell spreading, proliferation, colony formation, and osteogenic induction, suggesting abnormal bone characteristics in the patient with DGI caused by DSPP mutation. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: DSPP mutation can induce the behavior alterations of alveolar bone cells.
